Abstract: This article reports a research about mitigating strategies in argumentative justification. The sample consists of 823 mitigated justifications (82%) which appear in the total of 996 arguments produced by interviewed individuals during the first 30 minutes in the 108 sociolinguistic interviews of sociolinguistic corpus Monterrey-PRESEEA, collected from 2006 to 2010. The theoretic-methodological sustain corresponds to a proposal constructed by Rodríguez Alfano (2015) on articulating different philosophical and scientific postures for argumentation and politeness studies. On this basis, there are defined: Basic categories, analytic dimensions, methodological procedures and sociolinguistic distribution of attenuation devices according to ‘sex’,‘age’ and‘education’.
